I would have assumed that this thread would have died of stupidity by now....
Anyone here think they just got taken on a major troll-ride?
Actually I was the one who posted the first reply and thought this thread would just die or become a flame fest and be closed, nice to see it's still going!
I heard Dan Brown is writing a book about the dark secrets behind Slackware...
I still feel haunted by the original users from the earlier Slackware versions: satan, snake and gonzo (the first two lived in /home/hell and /home/pit). And how about that "darkstar" hostname? It scares me!!!
SubGeniuses (or SubGenii), Aliens, Goblins, and numerous other unsavoury characters! Why can't Slackware be more like the clean, wholesome software produced by Microsoft?
Ahh, but who's going to play Pat, and his mysterious henchman 'Alien Bob' in the film?
Will we discover who Pat *really* is???
This is an international network we're talking about. People from all corners of the world are involved: USA, UK, Netherlands, Australia, Brazil. And I'm just taking about the "core" team.
I cannot say more. "They" will be after me. I must hide!!!
The trunks of the ceramic elephants in my home must face east when I run slackware, else the neighbourhood's feral felines perform ritual sadistic torture on the area wombats, whom are extinct, since I've never heard of them existing outside of Oz...
I can't help but think that if they'd stuck to the basics of what a web-browser was meant to do, instead of adding all the unnecessary fluff like javascript, java applets, activex, flash and the like, we'd be having but a fraction of all these security issues.
And then, to make matters worse, Adobe go and make the exact same mistake with .pdf documents, so now, we can't trust those either. Just Brilliant!
Oh, Sod it!.. I'm going back to using NCSA Mosaic.
